Miscarriage nightmare

Hi everyone.
I’m new to this and just wanted to share my story to see if anyone else has had a similar experience.

After getting married in June and stopping My mini pill pretty soon after, we found out we were pregnant in September (woo great news we thought...) I instantly felt drained and queasy constantly!
We went for our 12 week scan in November to find out that the pregnancy hadn’t progressed and that it had probably stopped developing at around 4/5 weeks (no yolk sack was present) I’d had what they called a silent miscarriage/blighted ovum. I started bleeding a little the next day. I then had to wait 4 weeks to see if it would come away on it’s own (it didn’t) so I had the medical management (vaginal pessary) I had no pain with this but later that day I passed a large clot and a small bit of tissue.
3/4 weeks later I did a pregnancy test... still positive. So on 31st December I went to hospital again for an internal scan and for the medical management again, this was the beginning of the worst day of my life. By 4pm I was in agony, I stuck it out for a few hours but my husband rushed me to A&E at 9pm NYE where they put me on morphine. I spent the night in hospital in agony and needed a D&C 3 days later as the pessaries hadn’t even worked.
Now I’m another 4 weeks on and I think I’m having my first period. It’s so heavy with some clots.
I can’t wait for this to all be over, I’m so sick and tired of bleeding all the time and being an emotional wreck. I feel terrified to try again. I hope I never have to go through this again.

Thank you for reading 🙂

Oh @AlisonLew15, I'm so sorry. It sounds horrendous and you have really been through it. I can't really offer any advice or help, but I have been through something not a million miles away when I was younger so I am sending you love and hugs. Please make sure you talk about it and get support, as this is a really tough thing to go through. It WILL get better, even if it doesn't seem like it right now xx

Hey, I miscarried at 5 weeks in early October and it was a real low point, however, the bleeding does get better and the first period is the worst. My periods have been heavier since but nothing painful or hugely heavy... just heavier. Hope you're feeling more like your old self soon xxxx
